Saturday, January 24, 2004 ( 1:34 PM ) The Duchess "Home" is different for everyone. It's all a matter of what you want "home" to be and if you have it. You have to try to find it, though. It won't just come to you. That's the way it is with a lot of things. You have to work to make things go well and feel right. It never just happens. Honestly Ok, Dido, No Angel I just want to feel safe in my own skin I just want to be happy again I just want to feel deep in my own world But I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore On a different day, if I was safe in my own skin Then I wouldn't feel lost and so frightened But this is today and I'm lost in my own skin And I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore I just want to feel safe in my own skin I just want to be happy again # ( 1:37 AM ) Mandie "Home is where the heart is" Even if that means inside yourself, comfortable in your own skin... If you can feel at home within you can be at home anywhere. # Friday, January 23, 2004 ( 11:16 PM ) Angie Home as being a state of peace, huh? Still doesn't help me much... # Thursday, January 22, 2004 ( 8:41 AM ) Vahun I had never looked at it that way, Darren. Home can be found by doing something, rather than being somewhere. And yes, I believe you when you say you feel at home spending money... How much did you spend on that surf board? Putting this into use, we all can feel at home even when we are away from home. If we feel at home sitting at a computer and talking to friends all over the world, does it matter where we live? Or have lived? I suppose home can be defined as "peace". Find a place, do a thing, or see something or someone that puts you at this peace...and you have found your home. And like Darren said, home...and peace...can be found in more than one place. # Wednesday, January 21, 2004 ( 5:32 PM ) Darren Home? I don't like to think of home as just one place. There are many places one can feel at home. For me, it's the beach, the movie theatre, whenever I'm spending money, or watching a good tv show. I've given up on trying to think of one place as a home. Don't forget to watch the Golden Globes this Sunday. Hehe, me and a friend from work are arguing over who will win what. # ( 3:38 PM ) Vahun I am sure you will not stay in only one place your entire life, Angie. There are many places yet to be discovered. Perhaps your home is yet waiting for you. But remember what I have told you. Until you have been everywhere, do not say that you do not belong there. # ( 10:53 AM ) Angie Laura--The crap people send us SOMETIMES? *blinks* I've noticed that we get a lot of crap with AtM...I blame it on all the 13-16 year old girls who visit the site. I'm glad no one asks me about my accent too often, but I get people asking me "Where are you from?" a lot. -_- As if that is even a valid question to ask me. I think that's part of my overall problem...I've noticed that a lot of people really know where they are most at home, but where is home for me? It's not my parents' house, because I feel like I don't really know some of my family anymore. Duluth is a nice enough city for me to stay in, but I don't feel completely at home here. Too many of the "Minnesota Nice" people >.> # ( 9:41 AM ) Laura I wish I got paid.... ;_; Would make my life a lot easier. >.> Hmm, that really isn't fair of her to use someone's accent just to sell something. Bleh. Of course, the political stuff you mentioned sounds just as fun. While I'm from here, I work in a government office, which makes the amount of political crap I hear double, and with Megan at home being one of those crazy Dean people, make that triple. --;; They still aren't quite sure what to do with me here at work. I've got a meeting in about 20 minutes with some other person in my building, this coming after I had an 8am meeting over at the Pentagon with some other dude. If they would just pay me, I wouldn't care which building I worked in. Rarr! On the bright side, I've gotten the GW Anime website overhauled. It's PRETTY! Haha. Now to post AtM for this week before there're riots. ;) Granted it's only 7 questions, but it's all I could glean from the crap people send us sometimes. >.> # ( 8:45 AM ) Vahun I have nothing like that for me. I work full time in a clothing and accessories store and am paid $10 an hour. But when compared to a Euro, is more like $6 an hour. This normaly would not be such a problem. Afterall, I do live in the US now. But most of my money I must send back to my parents. And so it does not seem as if I make any money at all, lol. Actually, I believe it is negative progress, especially considering that an Englishman from the Lakes District was recently hired. He and I run the same shift together because, according to my manager, "our accents sell". She wishes I would not try to change the way I speak, as I am tending to use more of an Amerian lilt to my language now. But she does not know what it is like to stand in front of a class full of a hundred or more students and try to defend or otherwise explain the reasons why France did not support the US in their war on Iraq. # |
